How to Keep Your Tattoo from Fading Over Time

1. What Causes Tattoos to Fade?

Tattoos fade due to various factors, including sun exposure, improper aftercare, low ink quality, and natural skin exfoliation. Over time, UV rays break down ink pigments, and lack of moisture can cause colors to look dull.

2. How Can I Protect My Tattoo from the Sun?

Direct sunlight is one of the main culprits behind tattoo fading. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 to your tattoo, even on cloudy days. Wear protective clothing over fresh tattoos and avoid tanning beds.

3. Which Aftercare Routine Helps Prevent Tattoo Fading?

Keep the tattoo clean, hydrated, and avoid picking at scabs. Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer daily. Avoid soaking new tattoos in water and keep them dry to encourage proper healing.

4. How Does Skin Care Impact Tattoo Longevity?

Healthy skin keeps tattoos vibrant. Exfoliate gently to remove dead skin cells, but avoid harsh scrubbing. Hydrate your skin regularly, as dry skin can lead to premature fading of tattoo pigments.

5. Can Professional Touch-Ups Make Tattoos Last Longer?

Yes. Schedule periodic touch-ups with experienced artists like those at QM Makeup. A professional can restore vibrancy, fill in faded spots, and maintain crisp lines for extended tattoo life.

Yes. If you are not satisfied with the curling effect of lash lift, you can use perm agent to soften the eyelashes again, and then use neutralizer to set them again. However, it is recommended to wait at least 2 weeks between two treatment.

Super numb
Which is better, numbing cream or numbing essence?

In terms of penetration speed, numbing essence penetrates the skin faster than numbing cream and takes effect faster, but it has higher requirements for the operator and needs to avoid the numbing liquid from flowing into the eyes. For new beginners and semi permanent eye makeup tattoo treatment, we recommend using numbing cream.
